Raheem Omar Keyes, 25, was fatally shot on the afternoon of October 5, 2020, in Washington, North Carolina. Deputies were dispatched at 12:11 p.m. after a 911 caller reported the shooting at 114 Jasper Lane and described a Black male suspect fleeing the scene. Within about 20 minutes investigators located and arrested 25-year-old Paquon Shabrien Coffey of Grimesland coming out of the woods on Asbury Church Road. After interviewing multiple eyewitnesses and processing the scene, authorities charged Coffey with an open count of murder; he was held at the Beaufort County Detention Center without bond. The motive for the shooting remained under investigation.

Keyes was born July 13, 1995, to Michelle Keyes and Reginald Floyd. He worked at Butterball, enjoyed playing basketball, and was expecting his first child. A public visitation was held October 16, 2020, and a Celebration of Life took place October 17, 2020, at Washington High School. Does anyone who knew Raheem or witnessed the events on October 5 have information to share with investigators?
